'''Muiz ud din Qaiqabad''' (reigned 1287– 1 February 1290) was the tenth sultan of the [[Mamluk dynasty of Delhi|Mamluk dynasty]] (Slave dynasty). He was the son of [[Bughra Khan]] the Independent sultan of [[Bengal]], as well as grandson of [[Ghiyas ud din Balban]] (1266–87).<br />
<br />
After the death of his son Muhammad, in 1286 at the hands of the Mongols, [[Ghiyas ud din Balban]] was in an unrecoverable state of shock. In his last days he called his son [[Bughra Khan]], who was then the Governor of [[Bengal]], to stay with him, but due to the stern nature of his father he slipped away to Bengal. Eventually, Balban chose his grandson and son of Muhammad, Kay Khusroe, to be his successor. However, when Balban died, Fakhr-ud-Din, the Kotwal of Delhi, set aside the nomination and chose for Muiz ud din Qaiqabad, son of [[Bughra Khan]], to become ruler instead, he was only 17 years old<ref>{{cite book|title=History of medieval India|year=2007|publisher=S Chand|location=New Delhi|isbn=8121903645|pages=121, 122|author=V.D.

==Reign==<br />
After he became the Sultan, he indulged in the life of wine and women, the example set by the Sultan was also followed by his courtiers. His army met with his father's Bengal army near North Bihar, but due to the love for his father he ran towards him to embrace his crying. No battle took place and a lasting peace treaty was agreed between Bengal and Hindustan, which was even respected by his successors. On his return to [[Delhi]], he transferred Nizam-ud-Din to [[Multan]], seeing the latter's hesitation, the Sultan ordered him to be poisoned. He appointed [[Jalal ud din Firuz Khalji|Jalal ud Din Firuz Khalji]] as a new commander of the army, but the murder and appointment sent a wave of dissent amongst the Turkish nobility. Taking advantage of this Jalal-ud-Din Firuz marched his army to [[Delhi]].<ref>{{cite book|title=History of medieval India|year=2007|publisher=S Chand|location=New Delhi|isbn=8121903645|pages=121, 122|author=V.D.
